    I don’t imply to be an expert. But all the information I got was from the first paragraph of vlad the impaler and vlad II Dracul.

    It is interesting that in Romania it’s a synonym for devil. That’s metal.

    But about the midieval origins, Vlad the Impaler is from the actual middle ages. As is his father. So I would assume the midieval origins are “the Dragon” or “Son of the Dragon”. Any other origins might be influenced by Vlad II or Vlad the impaler.

    They might have been: Vlad Bad, Dragon = devil. And it stuck. But I don’t know. I’m not a historian.
